This is debatable because there are no right or wrong ways of doing things when
it comes to posting on a forum or a newsgroup.
Some of us prefer top posting so that people can read what is being posted
rather than scrolling down the long thread to read the post. Only the post
being replied to must be quoted at the bottom so that whoever is new to the
thread gets to know what is being replied to, as I have done it in this post.
